In children under 3 years of age, a doctor's prescription is recommended for the use of paracetamol.
Do not use Apiretal 100 mg if you are hypersensitive to paracetamol or any of the excipients, in hepatocellular disorders, phenylketonuria, dehydration, etc.
Special care should be taken in patients with chronic alcoholism, renal failure, heart failure, pulmonary disorders and anaemia, among others.
Although no problems have been reported in pregnant women, a doctor should always be consulted before use.
No problems have been reported during lactation, although a doctor should always be consulted before use, as maximum concentrations of 10-15 microlitres/ml have been found in milk 2 hours after ingestion.
Consult a doctor if you are taking medicines such as chloramphenicol, propranolol, probenecid, metoclopramide, domperidone, rifampicin, lamotrigine, isoniazid, among others, as the plasma levels of these or paracetamol may be affected, increasing or decreasing, causing toxicity or shielding the effect relatively.
